Chapter 418

Jiang Sheng was flustered. Why did he suddenly get angry? He already explained that it wasn’t Bai Jiaojiao’s fault.

Uncle Mo was also confused. No matter what, it was not Bai Jiaojiao’s fault! Why did he turn on Jiaojiao?

“It was my fault. I was the one who entrusted Jiaojiao to do this. Master Bai, you shouldn’t blame her.”

Jiang Sheng protected Bai Jiaojiao from behind and held her hand tightly.

With her hands being held, she felt some warmth and then she lowered her head and cried silently.

She was just worried about Bai Hezhi feeding the whole family on himself. That was a big burden.

Knowing that Pei Siyang was rich, she thought of using this way to earn some money to reduce the burden on Bai Hezhi.

“This is our family issue, please don’t interfere, Madam Pei.”

Bai Hezhi told Jiang Sheng clearly that he had already crossed the line.

“I know, but it really wasn’t Jiaojiao’s fault. It was because I realized that she was able to use to treat Pei Siyang, so I trusted her. Naturally, she rejected first, but I forced her.”

Even though he made up all the story, he felt really sad seeing Bai Jiaojiao being wronged.

Since it happened in front of him, he couldn’t simplly ignore it.

Bai Hezhi knew clearly what the truth was. He knew Bai Jiaojiao’s personality. So he understood that Jiang Sheng only lied because he wanted to protect Bai Jiaojiao.

He didn’t expose it, but it didn’t mean he would not get angry.

“We definitely won’t say anything about Jiaojiao’s abiliy, don’t worry.”

Seeing that Bai Hezhi was still angry, Jiang Sheng immediately promised.

“Of course, I trust Madam Pei.”

“That’s good then.”

Jiang Sheng secretly let out a sigh of relief.

However, Bai Hezhi suddenly turned his cold eyes to Jiang Sheng and asked, “Do you know that her own lifetime will be shortened when she uses spirit power?”

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng’s eyes widened.

He turned to look at Bai Jiaojiao in a panic. “This… is this true?”

Bai Jiaojiao nodded and cried quietly.

Jiang Sheng took a deep breath. He never thought that things would be so serious.

“Why didn’t you say it earlier?! Such an important thing.”

Jiang Sheng felt very guilty. If he knew that Bai Jiaojiao’s lifetime would be shortened, he would never allow her to treat Pei Siyang.”

At this moment, Jiang Sheng realized what Pei Siran had said earlier. He said that he begged Qiao Nasi to restore Qiao Mo’s memory but she didn’t agree. So that was the case.

“That’s not a big deal actually. I could live very long. A little bit shorter wouldn’t do me any bad.”

Bai Jiaojiao pouted, but what followed was a vicious slap from Bai Hezhi. He yelled “You were joking about your life? Don’t you know?”

Bai Jiaojiao didn’t keep silent after getting the slap.

She held her cheeks, raised her head and cried sadly, “You can only live for a few decades. Why should I live so long? I don’t want you to abandon me even if you die.”

The hand that was still lifted by Bai Hezhi trembled slightly, and a hint of pain appeared on his face.

He retracted his hand and didn’t say a word, but it could be seen that he was also in sorrow.

“I can help you make money. I can help you raise the family. I’m no longer a child.”

After saying this, Bai Jiaojiao cried and ran out of the room, her back covered with pity.
